Just start the application and you will see a list of all incompatible plugins for your current Mail.app installation. Just select the ones you would like to fix and press the start button in the toolbar. All selected plugins will get patched with the UIDs of the current Mail.app version and also all disabled plugins will be enabled again.

Requirements

  • Mac OS X 10.6 or later
  • Works only with plugins installed in the user library folder. If you want to fix a plugin which is installed for all users you have to move it to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles first.
